The new formula is too strong and hurts my stomach. The salicylamide helped me with neuralgia and chronic inflammation. Why did they remove it? ## Why did they remove salicylamide from Bc Powders? I needed it for neuralgia and chronic inflammation. The new formula is too strong. It hurts my stomach and gives me the jitters. ## THIS IS AN ANSWER : Salicylamide was removed from BC and other remedies because we have allowed THE NANNY STATE to grow too large!!!! The nanny state (which is GOV "protecting" us) has decided that Salicylamide does not work...... They are not in pain like us, they don't know anything except what they THINK. While we know what helps us, they think they know more about us than we do :( We need to rid ourselves of the nanny state telling us what to eat, ...

I just started taking sympicort for copd. Can I take tums, ibuprofen, tylenol, or bc powders with this medicine? I am googleing it and it never tells me if I can or not. ## Hello, Amy! How are you? While you are always welcome to ask here, if you wish to research for yourself in the future, look for an interaction checker. That will help you find the information you need. Now, as to the medications in question… No, on the Ibuprofen, it increased the toxicity of the ingredients in the Symbicort. It may cause the Tums to not work as well, since you won't retain an absorb as much of it as usual. As the to BC powders, I can't check those, without knowing the specific ones to check their ingredients. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! The FDA lists the typical sid...

+LSPERNOL,+ CEPHALEXIN 500MG/+ HYDROCODONE 5MG,325,+ CELEXA+LAMICTAL+INDOMETHICIN+BC POWDER. IS THIS A SAFE COMBO FOR HEAL OF THE FOOT CELLULITUS? ## Hello, Ace! How are you? Are you taking or planning on taking all of these, at once? No, that isn't necessary. Cellulitis is an infection, so it requires an antibiotic and something for pain, if it's painful, but this is way too much stuff to be taking. What has your doctor instructed you to take? Please post back with more details, thank you!

I HAVE BEEN TAKING ALL TYPES OF ANTI-INFLAMMATORY MEDS AND ORALGEL MAXIMUM STRENGTH SO WHAT ELSE CAN I TAKE? I'M DESPERATE. IT REALLY HURTS, TILL I GET THIS TOOTH PULL NEXT SATURDAY. ## Clove oils and bc powders are the best. You can buy them over the counter. I use a brand called goody's. I also suck on ice when it gets so bad nothing works, cause I go through this very often. All my teeth are bad, and damaged at the roots. ## You can try Krys's ideas, but otherwise there isn't a lot anyone can suggest, since we don't know the specifics of what NSAIDs you've been taking, and how much of them you've taken. Orajel is usually good, but it doesn't tend to last long, since your saliva tends to wash it away very quickly. The ice might not be a good idea for ev...

Salicylamide + Potassium Nitrate + Caffeine

Salicylamide (o-hydroxybenzamide or amide of salicyl) is a non-prescription drug with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Its medicinal uses are similar to those of aspirin.[1] Salicylamide is used in combination with both aspirin and caffeine in the over-the-counter pain remedy PainAid. It was also an ingredient in the over-the-counter pain remedy BC Powder but was removed from the formulation in 2009, and Excedrin used the ingredient from 1960 to 1980 in conjunction with...

What can I take for a headache if Excedrin migraine is not a good choice with sulfamethoxazole? ## According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), there are no interactions listed between Aspirin and Sulfamethoxazole. While this doesn't necessarily mean that no interactions exist, it is my understanding that this combination is generally regarded as safe. Nevertheless, if you have any doubts about your prescription, I'd encourage you to consult your prescribing doctor before moving forward with anything else. Hope this helps! ## Can I take bc powder while on antibiotics sulfamethoxazole

Can I take benadryl and bromfed within a couple hours of each other? I have a terrible cough. Took benadryl first and it hasn't helped. ## Benadryl is an antihistamine that is used to treat or prevent allergic reactions, so it will not do anything to treat a cough, and unfortunately, Bromfed also isn't like to help, since it has not cough suppressant properties, according to the NIH. To treat a cough, you need a cough suppressant. Have you consulted your doctor to see what's causing your cough and what would be the best remedy? Are you on any other medications? ## I took benadryl two hrs ago but now have a very bad headache. Can I take a BC powder? ## I took benadryl for allergy issues, and 30 mins to an hour later I took a BC powder for a headache. Can this affect me?

Can you fail a drug test if you have taken BC powder earlier? I tested positive for methamphetamine. ## I’ll start off by saying it’s very rare to fail a drug test from BC powder. I take it all the time and I take a UA (drug test) every month because I’m prescribed Subutex. BC powder is aspirin but it’s in powdered form so it’ll hit faster it also has caffeine about 65 mg. The aspirin is 845 mg, So generally speaking it’s not common to fail for methamphetamine from BC powder, but I’m not saying it’s impossible. I have taken some over-the-counter anti-allergy medication such as NyQuil and various other things that have had false positive for meth. I can tell you Psuedoephedrine can make you fail for that as well. Had it happen myself and al...

Back surgery and recently 2 MORE bulged lower lumbar level discs in my back make pain meds almost a must. No pm doctor right now...been on Norco, methadone for 7 yrs., and past 6 months fentanyl powder. Violent vomiting and stomach ache, along with freezing sweats bc I'm withdrawing 1st day. I took (1) 8 mg suboxone at 4.30 pm...it's midnight now...will Fentanyl powder make me sick if I use it? It's right here in front of me...I wish it weren't, I was hoping to be forced to detox--but it is--in my face. Will I get sick or ??

My daughter failed a drug test. She claimed she only took bc powder, ibuprophen, and trazodone..... Can u fail a drug test for methamphetamine with this mixture? ## Ibuprofen wont give a false reading for meth! Phenylalanine,pseudoephedrine (sudafed,for hayfever) & trazodone will both give a false positive though! :) Just like a reading for opiates will produce a false positive for morphine! & codeine will give a false positive for morphine also. ## I was in pain management until 2 days ago. My doctor said my drug test came back from the lab saying I tested positive for methamphetamine. I never have touched the stuff. I had a real bad cough so I was taking Mucinex and Sudafed and ibuprofen and Robitussin cough syrup and vitamin b12. Plus I'm on blood thinners and cholesterol...
